Samsung N510 product manual available
While you’re waiting for the release of the Samsung N510, why don’t you check out the product manual for the netbook which is now available on their website?
There’s a couple of interesting tidbits – notably the fact that the N510 utilizes the ION LE and not the regular ION platform.
What’s the difference? While the ION LE GPU is identical to the ION, the ION LE only supports DirectX 9 while the more expensive ION platform supports DirectX 10. The LE SKU was created to help make it possible to integrate the ION platform into inexpensive platforms such as netbooks and nettops etc.
In any event, here’s a list of the interesting tidbits from the N510’s product manual. (You can read more by downloading the flash-based manual here).
- Intel Atom processor
- Camera, Bluetooth, and multi-card slot appear as optional (how optional remains to be seen)
- Comes with a recovery image on disk (press F4)
- HDMI output on the left hand side of the netbook
- Optional chargeable USB port – even when the computer is off
- Single cover on the bottom for both the hard drive and main memory
- Single large button for the touchpad (no multi-touch support?)
- You can configure audio to be played through HDMI (via control panel) – great for HTPC purposes
- SRS Premium Sound
AND.. here are the official product specs:
- Intel Atom processor
- DDR2 SODIMM memory
- NVIDIA MCP79-D9 chipset
- SATA HDD or SSD
- NVIDIA ION LE graphics
- 40 watts output power
Now some snapshots from the manual for your viewing pleasure.
